Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krishna Pada Das | Biomathematics | Best Researcher Award

Mahadevananda Mahavidyalaya | India

Dr. Krishna Pada Das is an Associate Professor of Mathematics whose research primarily focuses on mathematical biology, especially population dynamics and eco-epidemiological systems. His work explores how infectious diseases interact with ecological food webs, including predator-prey and plankton systems, and how factors such as alternative food, nutrient levels, environmental toxins, diffusion, seasonal effects, and harvesting influence system stability or generate complex behaviors like chaos and oscillation. He employs mathematical modeling through differential equations (ODE, DDE, stochastic systems), fractional calculus, spatio-temporal dynamics, and computational simulation using MATLAB, MAPLE, and MATHEMATICA to analyze stability, bifurcation, and long-term behavior of biological systems. His research has contributed to understanding control strategies for harmful algal blooms, disease propagation in ecosystems, phytoplankton-zooplankton interactions, and tri-trophic food chain dynamics. In recent work, he has also examined epidemic models including COVID-19 and HIV transmission, applying sensitivity analysis, parameter estimation, and optimal control strategies. With an extensive list of research publications in international journals and collaborative studies, his contributions support improved ecological system management, disease control measures, and deeper theoretical insights into nonlinear biological dynamics.
